20 Heavenly Recipes for 4th of July
1. Easiest Pigs in a Blanket (Thekitchn.com)
Let’s kick off this recipes for 4th of July roundup with this classic!
These pigs in a blanket are so easy to make, perfect for Independence Day but you will be taking them to every potluck and party this summer as well – believe me!
Credits for these piggies go to Meghan over at thekitchn.com.
And Meghan says about her recipe: “Let me tell you why these pigs in a blanket are so ingenious: instead of meticulously wrapping a bunch of them tiny hot dogs in canned biscuit dough, just wrap a few sausages in puff pastry, bake them, and then slice them into bite-sized pieces afterwards.”
Great idea indeed…
Thanks Meghan!

6. BBQ Grilled Chicken & Corn (Delish)
Add extra flavor to bbq sauce by adding honey and lime!
Another one of those perfect recipes for 4th of July everyone will love!
Brushing the chicken with extra bbq sauce during cooking will lead to more caramelization and more of the sauce’s flavor coating the grilled chicken.
Here is what the folks over at Delish say about their recipe: “Let’s be honest: grilled chicken might not seem like the most exciting meat, but it sure is affordable, crowd pleasing and so easy to cook. So why not skip the burgers at your next barbecue and try this super easy recipe instead?”

You can customize your dish with your favorite ingredients, it’s easy, there’s virtually no cleanup, and most importantly, the flavor is outstanding.”
Thanks Donya!

I am always surprised by how easy it is to make, and how good it tastes with only a handful of ingredients!
Credits for this one go to Jessica over at Jessica Gavin, and she says this about her recipe: “Classic caesar salad using crisp romaine lettuce and tossed with a creamy homemade dressing. Briny salt-cured anchovies add the characteristic flavor while eggs create the perfect emulsion for the dressing. Just top with aged Parmesan cheese and crunchy croutons!
That’s right, don’t forget the anchovies!
Thanks Jessica!
11. Bacon & Broccoli Tortellini Salad (June d’Arville)
Allow me to sneak in another one of my recipes in this recipes for 4th of July roundup…
A cold broccoli, pasta and bacon salad!
I love pasta, just any type of pasta but the stuffed one is a superb and filling lunch idea.
So we got broccoli and tortellini, what else could we add?
Bacon!
You could also add cooked ham or sliced mortadella if you like.
I kept the dressing for this broccoli salad pretty simple: onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, salt, olive oil and dried rosemary. Capers for an extra vinegar touch and sunflower seeds for more crunch. Then give this broccoli salad a good shake.
Enjoy!
12. Chunky Guacamole (Gimme Delicious)
Everyone loves a good old guacamole dip, right!
That is why I will also include it in this recipes for 4th of July roundup.
You bet that there are millions of guacamole recipes on the internet – so I picked the one I loved instantly. This chunky guacamole from Layla over at Gimme Delicious!

Yes, smoked brisket is my favorite, how about you?
Again, lots of recipes online – so this tender and juicy Texas style smoked beef brisket caught my eye over at Razzle Dazzle Life and I just had to add it here.
So Tamara says this about her recipe: “The brisket is cooked directly on the grill for the first six hours. After that, I wrap it in butcher paper or aluminum foil and cook it an additional six hours. Internal temperatures should reach at least 205 degrees before the brisket is removed.”
Thanks Tamara!
15. Loaded Nachos (Country Living)
We all know a few people who could easily live on loaded nachos.
I get it, loaded nachos are delicious!
So in comes this loaded nacho recipe from Marian over at Country Living.
And Marian says this about her recipe: “You can really customize this finger food any way you’d like. If chorizo isn’t your thing, swap it out for grilled chicken, pulled pork, or perhaps skirt steak. You could even make this dish meatless and add in tempeh or tofu for your favorite vegetarian.”
Thanks you so much for this delicious idea!
16. Barbecued Chicken Wings (Martha Stewart)
That smoked brisket takes quite a while to cook…
But if you need a faster idea to make for an all American cookout: wings are always a great option!
I found these plain and simple barbecue sauce wings on Martha’s website.
Here is a great tip if you want to make these wings: “You can bake the chicken wings a day ahead and store them, covered, in the refrigerator; bring them to room temperature before grilling.”
